UFL Tryouts In Florida And Elsewhere
As one of only handful of sports agents in Fort Lauderdale, I get a lot of calls and e-mails from local players asking me to be their agent. Wolf Sports Management is always receptive to new clients, but I typically end up giving out free advice to most of these athletes because they need to take initial steps to further their career before they are ready to retain an agent.
This week I received numerous calls and e-mails from football players wondering why they were not selected in the NFL Draft and how they can continue their NFL career now that the draft is over. I usually explain that unless they had an agent working hard on their behalf before the draft, there is virtually no likelihood that they would be drafted.
Then I tell them about the upcoming UFL tryouts. The UFL is a second-tier league that is trying to create a niche as the NFL's minor league. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban recently invested in the league, so the league has credibility. Fortunately, the UFL is holding tryouts throughout the country this month, so interested football players should click on the UFL's web site (see link here) for more information. The Florida tryouts are on May 8 and May 15, so if you are interested, hurry up and register.
